Application Client for WebSphere® Application
Server is the package that you can use to install a variety of clients.
Application Client also forms the runtime for Java EE
clients and Java thin clients on a system that
does not have the Application Server installed.
The Application Client for WebSphere Application Server
is packaged with the following components:
- Java Runtime
Environment (JRE) (or an optional full Software Development Kit) that
IBM i provides.
- The Java extensions
needed to work with the IBM® i server Java Development Kit. The IBM i product does not
include a stand-alone JRE.
- The runtime environment for Java EE
client applications (that use services provided by the Java EE Client Container)
- The runtime environment for Java thin
client applications (Java SE
applications that do not use services provided by the Java EE Client Container)
- An ActiveX to EJB Bridge for ActiveX programs
to access enterprise beans through a set of ActiveX automation objects.
(Windows® only)
- IBM plug-in for Java platforms
for Applet client applications (Windows only)
- A variety of stand-alone thin clients, as embeddable JAR files
